DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a weapon whose device according
to the invention allows remote destruction of all electrical
equipment, electronic circuits and all computer configurations in
order to render unusable the equipment for which they were
designed.

As a result, destruction involves all equipment and installations
using and using such electrical equipment, electronic circuits and
X10 computer configurations, whether stationary or mobile, land,
air or sea, such as computers, navigation and guidance systems ,
telecommunications, conventional or nuclear defense or attack
weapons, aircraft, helicopters, land vehicles, missiles,
satellites, rockets, boats, detection devices, radars,
electricity, video systems, radio and television transmitters and
receivers.

This weapon, whose device allowing such destruction, can be fixed
or mobile, that is to say it can be used from a building, a
dwelling, a land vehicle, an airplane , a helicopter, a ship, a
rocket, a missile, or on the back of a man. This weapon can
therefore be used anywhere and anywhere when thanks to its
mobility. The neutralization of the circuits and configurations
mentioned above takes place at the speed of light.

The range and power of this remote weapon of destruction, which is
the subject of the invention, can be from a few meters to several
tens of meters or hundreds of meters. The size of this weapon can
be the size of a point weapon up to several meters. In fact, the
size, scope and power of this weapon will be a function and will
be defined by the specifications established for a specific
device, for the use to be made of it and will therefore be
essentially based on the the quality of the materials and
components used, the energy available for its operation and to
achieve the desired result. For example, the weapon being the
device according to the invention, will be able, from the ground,
from a helicopter or from a boat and by its user targeting an
objective, an apparatus, to generate destruction of all the
electronic circuits or embedded computing configurations and make
this device unusable.

The present invention is a device for sending an electrical
discharge at a distance to the speed of the light without material
support, such as electric wires for example, in order to destroy
remotely electronic circuits and the electronic components which
constitute them or else still computer data. [4]

In the current state of technology, no device can achieve such a
result and can not produce the shutdown without any physical or
physical link, computer configurations, electronic circuits,
electrical equipment.

The technical solution is provided by this weapon, which is the
subject of the invention. To generate destruction of all circuits,
equipment and computer, electronic or electrical configurations,
they must be subjected to an electrical overload or discharge
sufficient to cause the short circuits, the flashings necessary to
render them definitively unusable.

If a direct or direct electrical or electrical overload or
discharge is generated remotely, in the immediate environment in
which these apparatuses, circuits and configurations are located,
it occurs in these same devices, circuits or configurations , the
overload or electrical discharge sufficient and fatal, provoking
short circuits the flashings necessary to destroy them.

Science, calculations, tests, various experiments carried out,
simulations and the laws of optics and physics, demonstrate
several facts: a sufficient electrical overload or discharge
causes, by induction, an electrical overload or discharge which is
also fatal to the electrical or electronic circuits, as long as
the latter are in the environment, the field and in the immediate
immediate vicinity of the field generating the initial electrical
overload or discharge.

An ionized atmosphere is conductive, transports electric charges,
and behaves like an electrical conductor; therefore, when an
electronic circuit, computer configuration and electrical
equipment are found to be present in such an ionized atmosphere,
to which an overload or an electric discharge is applied, by
induction, there is a sufficient overload or electrical discharge
and fatal to these same circuits and configurations, generating
the destruction of the electronic components and the computer
data.

X-rays have the particularity of ionizing the atmosphere they pass
through. This ionized atmosphere allows the transport of electric
charges as would an electrical conductor. It is therefore possible
to apply an overload or an electric discharge of very high voltage
from an electric generator to this atmosphere ionized by X-rays.
The basic principle will therefore be that, for the device
according to the invention, electrical equipment, electronic
circuits and computer configurations by hard X-rays in order to
locally cause an ionization of the atmosphere in which the
circuits and materials mentioned above are located; The electrical
overload or discharge must then be applied to the entire ionized
atmospheric zone so that, by induction, generated in the said
circuits, equipment, apparatus and configurations, the electrical
overload or discharge necessary for their destruction.

X-rays have the peculiarity, since they are emitted, that they can
not be deflected by any means, electric, waveguide or magnetic.
Their direction, direction and field are defined as soon as they
are produced and their trajectory can not be modified.

In order to allow these X-rays to have the direction, the
direction A0 in a desired very closed angle and to be very
concentrated in the form of beams, beams, much like a laser beam,
allowing the production of X-rays from the outset; it is a
question of modifying the anticathode, the AS cathode and the
anode, in order to obtain highly concentrated hard X-rays having
the desired shape, range and power, ie having a direction, a
rectilinear direction very localized in the form of beams, as if
it were a laser beam and having the least possible dispersion
outside the chosen axis of X-ray propagation. For example , as
soon as they are produced, the X-rays must have a diameter of
between two centimeters and twenty centimeters, depending on the
shape of the electrodes ZS * producing these electromagnetic waves
and a range and power up to several hundred meters.

This will depend on the specifications established between the
manufacturer and the user.

By combining at least two such hard x-ray sources of this type,
directed in a convergent manner and in such a way as to create a
focal point, the latter, for example, one hundred meters away, the
whole atmospheric zone starting from the first source of
production of X-rays to the focal point and then from the latter
to the second source of production of X-rays will be ionized. At
this ionized atmospheric zone subjected to X-rays, there can be
applied an electric overload or discharge of very high voltage,
coming from an electric source, from a few tens of thousands of
volts to several hundreds of thousands of volts. As in an
electrical conductor, electrical overload or discharge will extend
over and throughout the ionized atmospheric zone from the first
source of X-ray production to the focal point and then to the
second source of X-ray production. If at the focal point or A0 in
the trajectory of one of the two sources of X-ray production
traversed by the electric discharge there is present an electronic
circuit, a computer configuration, the latter will undergo the
destructive electric discharge or overload created by induction by
the initial electrical charge applied to the ionized zone.

In summary, two hard X-ray beams converge towards a focal point
targeting an electronic circuit or a computer configuration; the
entire atmospheric zone traversed by hard X-rays is ionized. At
this ionized zone, a continuous, pulsed or alternating electrical
discharge is applied which, by induction, causes an electrical
overload in the electronic circuit which destroys the latter.

In its practical realization, the basic principle, the weapon 2S
of remote destruction computer configurations, the invention, is a
device of electronic circuits, electrical equipment, according to
the following constituted: A mechanically removable plate (1) 2)
of articulations, horizontal (3) and directional, linked by two
vertical (4) stabilization in order to: enable spatial orientation
of the whole object device and according to the invention.

On this tray (1) lies two hard X - ray guns (5 and 6) (16). Each
of these barrels (5 and 6) is provided with a lead shield (7) to
stop the residual X-rays. Each of these two barrels (5 and 6) is
also equipped with a cooling radiator (8). Each bundle, lead (7)
and radiator (8) on the one hand and barrel (6), lead (7) and
radiator (8) by two degrees S of articulation, horizontal (9) and
vertical (10) so as to be able to direct each beam of hard X-rays
(16) emitted simultaneously by each of the two guns (5 and 6)
converging towards a focal point (F). It is the set of adjustable
joints (3), (4), (9), (10) 40 that will make it possible to
target, designate and determine the objective to be achieved,
corresponding to the focal point that is to say the electronic
circuit or the computer configuration to be destroyed and housed
in an apparatus such as an aircraft, a ship, a missile, a
computer, etc.

Each of the hard X-ray generating guns (16 and 16) is independent
of each other and are both spaced apart from a few centimeters to
a few meters the specifications defined between the user and the
manufacturer. The two X-ray beams (5 and 6) are produced
identically.

Each gun (5 and 6) is supplied by a very high voltage electric
current source (11) from a few thousand volts to a few hundred
thousand volts 2S in order to produce very penetrating hard X-rays
(16) required for operation of the weapon, which is the subject of
the invention.

The whole device contains a whole set of points, fastenings,
fasteners, locks and clamps, various supports (12).

Each of the hard X-ray generating guns (5 and 6) is constructed
and constructed identically of the other as follows: A resistant
and sealed glass bulb (17) in the form of cylindrical tube, in
which a very high air gap (18) has been produced; a metal cathode
(14) supplied with a very high negative voltage (11), and in the
form of a ring in order to allow the hard X-rays (16) emitted in
the form of beams or rays to pass freely through the metallic
anticathode 19).

The anticathode (19) has a parabolic shape so that the hard X -
rays (16) are reflected along the axis and direction, the anode
(20), the parabolic anticathode (19) ring and the focal point (F).

The precise form of the parabolic anticathode (19) will be defined
according to the laws of optics and physics and the specifications
established between the user and the manufacturer in order to
allow a reflection from their source of X-rays (16) in a parallel
manner under the beam shape SIS so that they can pass through the
center of the circular cathode (14).

Each filament (13) of each barrel (5 and 6) is supplied with
electric current so as to heat each cathode (14) of each barrel (5
and 6) in order to extract the electrons (15).

The metal anode (20) is supplied with a very high positive voltage
(11) so as to attract the electrons (15) emitted by the cathode
(14). The shape of the anode (20) should be cylindrical and
narrow. [2]

In the path of the highly penetrating hard X-rays (16) emitted by
the anticathode (19) in the form of bundles, for each gun (5 and
6) and at their end is fixed in the lead shield (7) a tube (23)
made of material with a high electrical insulation coefficient. In
each of these tubes (23) there is embedded a metal electrode (24)
in the form of a ring. An electric current of very high voltage
(25) or negative voltage is applied to each electrode (24) on an
electrode (24) of one of the two tubes (23) of the barrel (5) (25)
on the other electrode (24) of the other tube (23) of the barrel
(6) on the other hand. The very high voltage (25) applied to the
electrodes (24) may be continuous, pulsed or alternative, it will
be some hundred or thousand volts according to the specifications
established between the user and the manufacturer.

The device as a whole, which is the subject of the invention, may
be used with telemetric sighting instruments, radar, night vision
or infrared vision device or automatic adjustment on the target in
order to determine the distance of the object for obtain the focal
point (F) in order to facilitate and increase the reliability of
the system by these types of ancillary assistance which are not
shown here. The device according to the invention is presented
here in a version of use and of -45 manual adjustments and
contains all the basic principle. However, eye goggles (22) are
provided on each of the barrels (5 and 6) to adjust each of the
guns on a target coincident with the focal point (F).

All electrical parts (E) are made with electrical conductors with
a high electrical insulation coefficient.

When the whole device of the invention, the object of the
invention is set to a target whose electrical, electronic or
computer system is to be destroyed, the device is switched on. The
filaments (13) heat the cathode (14). The electrons (15) extracted
from the cathode (14), supplied with a very high negative voltage
(11), are attracted by the anode (20) supplied with a very high
positive voltage (11). The electrons (15) are reflected by the
parabolic anticathode (19), which generates a highly concentrated
x-ray beam (16). The hard X-rays (16) pass through the ring-shaped
cathode (14) and each of the hard X-ray beams (16) produced by
each of the guns (5 and 6) travels to the focal point ), ie on the
system to be destroyed.

The entire atmospheric zone traversed by the very penetrating hard
X-rays (16) is found to be very highly ionized and makes it
conductive to allow the transport of electrical charges of very
high voltage. That is to say that S the ionized atmospheric zone
(I) extends from the first hard X-ray source (16) produced by one
of the two guns (5 or 6) to the focal point (F) or converging from
the same focal point (F) to the second hard X-ray source (16)
produced by the other barrel (5 or 6).

Through the electrodes (24), housed respectively in each tube (23)
and traversed by the hard X-rays (16) emitted by each barrel (5
and 6), the ionized atmospheric zone very high voltage (25), in
the form of an overload or a 4S electric discharge, pulsed or
alternative. This electrical overload or discharge will leave the
negative electrode (24) fixed at the end of the barrel (5 or 6)
and will pass through the entire ionized atmospheric zone (I) to
the electronic system to be destroyed, the latter coinciding with
the focal point F) and to the other positive electrode (24) of the
other barrel (5 or 6). The electronic or computer system located
and confused with the focal point (F) will then undergo an
electric shock. By induction, there will occur in this same
electronic or computer system an overload or zS electrical
discharge sufficient to generate its destruction.

In each of the tubes (23), a further ring-like electrode (21) can
also be fixed in order to apply a further energy source thereto in
order to increase the efficiency of the whole device object of the
invention, or for possibly carrying out different applications,
other than those provided herein within the scope of the present
invention.

The dimensions and tensions used are not limiting with respect to
the entire device according to the invention since it is the
specifications set out between the manufacturer and the user which
will have to determine the technical characteristics according to

transporting electric charges at a sufficiently high distance and
at the speed of light such as is explained here, allows this
device to have a multiple application field other than mentioned
herein. Its main application will be the remote destruction of the
electronic circuits and computer configurations contained in any
civilian or military equipment.
